Win the Ding 1617

The brigade went south along the canal, and Tongzhou, Linqing, Jining, Huai'an, Qingjiangpu, and the cities along the way all competed to witness the repeated visits to the north by Qin Wang, who repeatedly destroyed the slaves and killed the leaders of the slaves.The head coach was even more demeanor of the Southern Cantonese army who was recently conferred the title of Uncle Ning Yuan by the emperor.

Especially on the ground in Shandong, from the governor down, De Wang and other clan princes even went out of the city for a hundred miles to greet them.

King De helped Li Shouhan, who was somewhat startled, "You don't need to be too polite. I just received the emperor's decree a few days ago, ordering me, Xiaogou, General Zhenguo and others to go to Fengyang, and read books behind closed doors in front of our ancestors."

Shou Han understood at that time that this was Chongzhen's disguised disposal of these royal family members who had been captured by Jiannu.Not only punished these unlucky princes, but also preserved the dignity of the royal family.

"Benjue and others are grateful for the kindness of Jueshuai who helped him with righteousness that day, and feel that they owe him a lot. Thinking of the day when Jueshuai bought the farm land in Qilu, although Benjue and the others dare not boast about their wealth compared to Jueshuai, they still feel that they owe a lot to him. There are still a few Susukadas in various places, so I will give them to the general! I hope the Marshal will accept it!"

Shou Han didn't understand why at first, but he understood after thinking about it.

These people, as the guilty clan, were sent to the Fengyang Imperial City, and what they would immediately face was not confinement, and they would inevitably be blackmailed and insulted by the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum.Rather than being blackmailed, it would be better to give it to yourself.Based on the well-known relationship between the Southern Guangdong Army and the eunuchs, the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum and guarding the eunuchs will also read some incense, and they will be more cautious when they are blackmailed.

"Then, I would like to be ashamed to accept it on behalf of the entire army!" Shou Han ordered someone to take the list book held by De Wang's youngest son.Flipping through a few pages hastily, it registered the details of real estate such as fields, manors, shops and workshops donated by the captured clans in Jinan.What excited Shou Han most was that in Jining, Dongying, Liaocheng, Xiajin, Wucheng, Binzhou, Tai'an, Heze, Pingyuan, Dezhou, and Qingzhou, more than two-thirds of the land was owned by these clans.

"Shandong is like this, no wonder the people of Ming Dynasty are going to rebel!"

I murmured something in my heart, but on the surface, I still have to deal with these officials, guilty clans, and perverts.

After resting in Jinan for two days, De Wang and others packed up their luggage and went south with the army to read and think about the past in front of the ancestors in Fengyang!However, Shou Han quietly ordered someone to send [-] silver dollars to De Wang and confessed to him.If a eunuch bullies and blackmails him.Just write and tell him. "Benbo will naturally seek justice for the prince!" The rest of the clan also gave different amounts of money depending on the situation.

It has always been that there are more icing on the cake and less charcoal in the snow.This move made the group of guilty clans feel very grateful to this Uncle Li, who was called domineering and arrogant by the ruling and opposition parties, regardless of whether he was academic or military.

"Li Jueshuai. A real gentleman!"

but.The generals who went south along the banks of the canal.But he was puzzled by Shou Han's move.There was quite a lot of criticism in the army when Yue Tuo and Du Du were exchanged for this group of clans before, and today they got a large piece of land from these people.Moreover, many lands have very low food production.For the soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army who neither lacked land nor food, these lands were tasteless.

Instigated by several brigade commanders and regimental commanders, Shouhan's second son, Li Huabao, quietly went to his father to find out the truth.

After hearing his son's intention, Shou Han took a piece of his own clothes from the side and threw it in front of Hua Bao without saying a word.

"Tell Dad, what is this?!"

"Father's personal clothes."

Hua Bao was honest, so he just said it.

"What did you do?"

"Made of fine cotton cloth from my Nanzhong."

"Where does the cotton cloth come from?"

"Cotton cloth is made of cotton that is spun and finely spun into cotton yarn, and the cotton yarn is then spun into yarn." Although Hua Bao was born in rich clothes and fine clothes, he also followed his mother Yan Meier to various places countless times. Either donating medicine to new immigrants, or visiting widows and widows in villages and towns.Therefore, it is not possible to say ignorant words that cotton cloth is bought from a store.

Seeing that his son explained almost the entire process of the cotton spinning industry in one breath, although there were some careless omissions in the middle, it was probably very clear.Shou Han nodded slightly.

"Son! Do you know where the first cotton came from?"

"This?" Hua Bao was momentarily at a loss for words. "I can be said to be rich in products in various places in South China, except that I do not produce cotton. Most of these products come from Tianzhu. Or I traded with the kings of various places with swords, guns, gunpowder, armor, etc., or when our Southern Guangdong Army The land occupied by Tianzhu has been extensively planted. In addition to cotton, it is wheat. In the past few years, my son heard that because of the war in Tianzhu, warlords and towns everywhere have sprung up. They are all increasing the cotton planting area in a large amount, and Long Shengxing’s goods exported to Tianzhu have added a lot of grain to supplement the food shortage in Tianzhu.”

Over the past few years, the Telugu dynasty and the Mughal dynasty, the descendants of the lame wolf Timur, have been fighting in full swing. On the Deccan Plateau, you come and go, and warriors who believe in various religions use the same weapons to kill each other. .The scale and cruelty of wars are getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for arms in South China, which is across the sea, is also increasing.In addition, there was a Portuguese Restoration that stirred up wind and rain on the Indian mainland, so even the princes who were not involved in the war had to increase their armaments to prevent malicious neighbors from suddenly breaking into their courtyards.

Therefore, there are those who exchange large tracts of land for armaments, those who exchange untouchable slaves for armaments, and those who exchange gold, silver, jewelry, trees and local products for armaments abound.

"However, you have to remember that everything is unstable where wars are fought. From the eighth year of Chongzhen to the present, the source and origin of cotton are constantly changing every year. In order to gain the upper hand in the war, the princes , Once you invade the other side's territory, the first thing you do is to burn the cotton fields. Attack the other side's war potential."

"The son seems to understand the meaning of the father, but the meaning of the father is to be cunning? Or as those red-haired barbarians said, can't put all the money in one box? Our cotton source can't just rely on Tianzhu. supply?"

"Not bad. But not all." Shou Han glanced at his son approvingly, expressing his appreciation for his analytical ability.

"Right now, our Southern Guangdong Army is gaining momentum, and we need to expand both internally and externally. The construction of various places also uses a lot of iron and steel, and we also need to export steel products to various places in exchange for various materials we need. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be Somewhat stretched. How to deal with such a thing?"

"Two times together, as a father, I can only choose to plant cotton in this land of Qilu, especially Denglai Qingsanfu in Jiaodong, so as to ensure the needs of thousands of sets of spinning and weaving machinery in Nanzhong."

Li Huabao was somewhat skeptical about whether the large-scale cotton planting in the three prefectures of Denglaiqing, especially in Dezhou and Heze in Shandong, would be successful.If someone else faced Shou Han's decision, it would naturally be "execute what you understand, and implement what you don't understand." But.After all, it's private conversations between father and son, so Huabao doesn't shy away from it at the moment.Dang even raised his doubts.

"Father commander, occupy some places in Shandong and use it to build the stronghold of our southern Guangdong army going north. This is the same as Go robbing and making eyes. It is a hidden strategy. It's just that my son is worried. Can this cotton be planted successfully in Shandong? If it can't be planted , We resettled at least hundreds of thousands of people in Shandong, wouldn’t it be another burden. To ensure the rations of these people?”

Dare to raise objections to his son.Shou Han didn't think he was disobedient but was quite happy.A son is not afraid of authority and has the consciousness of independent thinking, which is the most valuable quality for a potential successor.

But how can Shouhan tell his son that Shandong Province is the main cotton producing area in the future?The quality of long-staple cotton produced in this area is the best?In the future, cotton in Xinjiang will be promoted to the whole country after being successfully planted in Shandong?

"A Bao, have you ever thought about managing a matter like your elder brother and elder sister? You see, your elder sister is now leading the navy to walk around the sea, or escorting merchant ships, or fighting pirates. Your elder brother Hua Yu, Now that I am the magistrate in Taiwan, my father can see from the official documents and his family letters that your elder brother has made great progress. What are your plans?"

"This, my son has never thought about it."

"Alright! And don't be in a hurry. Just think about it on the way back. Your uncle sent someone to deliver a letter, preparing to meet us in Liudu, and then go to sea together via Songjiang. During this time, you can think about it carefully, or ask for advice. Your second uncle."

"My son knows it. When he sees the second uncle, he will definitely ask him for advice."

In the dead of night, there was only the occasional explosion of lights in the camp, accompanied by the sound of the waves from the distant canal.

Within a few days, the brigade came to the ground in Yangzhou.

The accompanying members of the Cao Gang had already explained to Shou Han that when they arrived in Yangzhou, they would be another home of the Southern Guangdong Army. a copper plate.

This is also a reward for the two parties to the close cooperation between the Nanzhong side and the Yancao gang over the years.Since Shouhan began to sell refined salt to the mainland through the Yancao Gang, the income of the two companies has increased significantly. After more than 20 years, the bitter haha ​​who worked for the salt merchants in the past have turned over and become the masters with pride.

The salt merchants, who were used to making huge profits by monopolizing the sale of official salt, had to ask the members of the Salt Gang to buy some high-quality fine salt in wholesale, so as to earn some money.

Not only that, but during the process of going north to King Qin, because the Caobang helped the King Qin army on the ground in Shandong, either by transporting food, grass and ammunition, or dragging ships, and even those brave people, each holding a sword and gun on the battlefield Help the Southern Guangdong Army kill the enemy, treat the wounded, and guard the prisoners.

When discussing meritorious deeds and rewarding them afterwards, Shou Han must not report hundreds of leaders of Cao Gang, big and small, as volunteers who helped the war, and asked the emperor to reward them.

Because there are demands from others, not to mention poaching other people's corners, the rift between the two parties needs to be bridged. For the list and requirements put forward by Shou Han, from the cabinet to the supervisor of rituals, to Chongzhen himself, all of them are full of satisfaction.What's more, it's just the false title of some military attaches in the guards.

Therefore, the members of the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang all had titles such as XX Weiqianhu, Garrison, and General Banner in front of their names. The one with the highest official title was the River Defense Battalion Counselor XX.

All of a sudden, on the pier in Yangzhou, there were guards of honor and flags everywhere, and the leaders of the former gangs in animal patches were everywhere.Seeing this scene, those salt merchants who also spent a lot of money to get various official titles were envious.Can't help cursing "Win the monkey and get the crown."

The head of the Sima gang of the Salt Gang, and the head of the Tian Gang of the Cao Gang, have also been dissatisfied with this group of fat-headed guys for a long time. The fundamental interests of the two parties are in conflict, so naturally there will be no harmony in the relationship. Did nothing less.However, there is still a need for harmony in person.

At the moment, it is unavoidable to proudly show off the story of his family's origins with Uncle Ning Yuan, exaggerate the day in Changqing, and lead his subordinates to wait thousands of miles to help.The story of the bloody battle with Jiannu.Hearing the green light in everyone's eyes, they cursed endlessly in their hearts.

"If I had known this, I would have gone to Shandong that day."

The umbrella covers the banner, and the earl's guard of honor moves from far to near.Come along the canal.The first to catch everyone's attention.It is a huge flag.The pole is two feet high.It is made of fine wood and steel, the flag is one foot larger, and it is made of red silk and satin.The golden silk is the border, and the tassel head is decorated with beads, which is extremely gorgeous.There are blue dragon, white tiger, red bird, and basalt patterns in the four directions of the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the flag. In the middle of the flag, there are golden waves, sun and moon patterns.When the wind and waves blow, the flag billows.It gives people a feeling of passion and enthusiasm.

The big flag was placed on the cart, firmly fixed to the cart with steel fasteners, and came slowly with four strong horses.Surrounding the big flag cart are four drum carts, each with a big drum on one side, all made of a whole piece of cowhide, surrounded by copper nails.Several drummers were naked to the waist, waving drumsticks, using drum beats to adjust the marching pace of the troops, and conveying the commander's orders to each battalion and each team.

A team of nearly [-] people came in an orderly manner amidst the sound of rumbling drums.

"Black art! It must be black art!"

A guy who claims to know soldiers on weekdays, and often talks about how to lead troops to fight before banquets and banquets. He has completely lost his vigor when talking about soldiers and swords in the past. exclaimed.

"Brother Nian, why do you say that?"

A few community members next to him supported his staggering body that was about to fall to the side in some confusion.

"There is no one who trains troops in this dynasty better than Qi Shaobao. However, Qi Shaobao's new book Ji Xiao's new book on military training has also said in Huanghuang's masterpieces that the Zhejiang soldiers of that day would stop and rectify every few steps before going into battle. Only one or two can ensure that the formation is not chaotic or scattered."

"Friends, please look at this generation of Southern Guangdong Army, who traveled tens of miles. If they stretched out their left legs, thousands of people would stretch out their left legs together. If they stretched out their right legs, they would stretch out their right legs. This is far from what the Zhejiang soldiers of the past could do. For comparison, please think about it, is Ning Yuanbo better at training soldiers than Qi Shaobao?"

"When a certain family read the Dibao, they paid attention to such words. They confronted Jiannu and braved Jiannu's arrows and gunfire before firing within twenty or thirty steps. This is something that flesh and blood can bear. ? If it wasn’t the Nanman witchcraft, it would be the puppet technique, which uses evil methods to control people’s minds. Only the blood of black dogs and women’s menstrual blood can break this method! Dear friends, please return to your home as soon as possible, stay at home Place toilets and other things at the entrance of the mansion, in case of accidents!"

What this guy said was very serious and well-founded, and everyone around couldn't help but change their colors when they heard it, and they fled into the city without caring about the grandeur of Uncle Ning Yuan's army marching in.

Soon, this rumor spread like wildfire in Yangzhou City.For a time, apart from the fact that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty wanted to give wives to the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army and Emperor Zhengde wanted to have a beauty pageant in Yangzhou, Yangzhou city had never seen such a panic in the city. move.Overnight, the Slender West Lake was full of toilets, and at both ends of the 24 Bridge, Cuo Da, who was pregnant with women's menstrual blood, shook his head there.

"Benbo has also read articles and poems of sages in his spare time. There are many poems about Yangzhou, such as 24 moonlit nights on the bridge, where can the jade people teach to play the flute? What is the moonlight under the sky, three-point rascals are in Yangzhou. Opportunity to go south, I planned to take a good look at it, but I didn’t want to see three-thirds of the moonlight in the world, but two-thirds of the toilets in the world did see it!”

In Yangzhou's civil and military officials, gentry and wealthy households prepared to defend the Han, this freshly baked Uncle Ning Yuan inevitably sneered at the civil and military officials.

Li Huabao, who grew up eating the deformed Huaiyang dishes and snacks carefully prepared by several chefs brought back from Yangzhou by Li Peiting, was even more angry.I originally planned to go to Yangzhou, which is said to be a blessed place in the cave, so that I can enjoy the Huaiyang wind and moon, but I didn't want to experience the fragrance, but the city was full of stench.

With this taste, how can you taste stewed crab powder lion head, boiled dried shredded pork, three sets of duck, crystal meat, squirrel fish, Liangxi crispy eel, eight-treasure gourd, grilled pig head, colorful butterfly flying, Yangzhou five The taste of Tingqiao, Pipa prawns, and chrysanthemum conch?

How can you get the essence of the three-head feast and the whole lotus root feast?

What is "crab fat cream is rich and the meat is delicious, silver carp head is stewed in a wok, which tastes like heaven and earth. There are two pairs of jade on the plate, fresh and mellow rotten pig's head sandwiched in it, and the taste is delicious." In this place full of five grains in the city, In an environment full of yellow and white things, how can we taste the three flavors?

"I've heard from my elders that Yangzhou is a good place. The so-called Yangzhou benefits two, what is it that you ride a crane down to Yangzhou with a waist of [-] yuan? What's more, I heard that Yangzhou has crabs wrapped in cattail baskets, shrimps in bamboo cages, and fish worn on wicker sticks. I have nothing to do with my father, but food and drink. However, Yangzhou treats my father and son like this!"

Li Huabao's words made many prominent people in Yangzhou sweat profusely, swearing and swearing that they had no intention of boycotting Jue Shuai, and the baseless rumors spread from nowhere, causing the city to be full of toilets overnight!

A few years later, when some officials learned of the source of the rumors, Dang even had the intention of killing people.Just because at that time, there were already enemy flags all over the city.

On that day, Uncle Ning Yuan and his son had already walked away in sullen anger.Crossed the Yangtze River and went straight to Liudu. (To be continued..)
